The Oldsmobile Achieva was introduced in 1992 and was a front-wheel drive compact car based on the GM N platform with Pontiac Grand Am, Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Chevrolet Malibu. The Achieva replaced the Cutlass Calais during its final year in 1991, which was also on the GM N platform. The Achieva was available as a sedan and a coupe. It also had 4 trim levels; S, SC, SL, and SCX. The SCX was a high performance version of the SC. It came equipped with the highest output naturally aspirated four cylinder engine GM has ever produced, the W41. This engine was complimented by a specially built Getrag 5-speed with a special differential that transferred tourque to the wheel with the most traction. The engines available were the high output version of the 2.3 L Quad 4 (LD9) and the 3.1 L V6. The Achieva's last model year was in 1998, and it was replaced by the Alero in 1999.
